Generally speaking, blue eyes
signify constancy and devotion tC
friends.
Black eyes denote as q rule sen.
suous character aad All inconstant
ickie disposition. However, there
are some noted exceptions to this
rule,
The main characteristics Of the
violet eye, which is called the wo-
mans eye, are affection and purity
chivalric belief, and limited or def
cient intellectually.
Gray eyes are the most express,
sive of all eyes and denote strong
qualities of mind and soul. Per-
sons with gray eyes usually have q
great deal OF patriotism.
satisfaction and conceit are
commonly the characteristic traits
represented by the green eye.
When the tinge verges on yellow
ishness it denotes that the posses
sor is gifted with strong powers OF
imagination.
The very light blue eye is char
acteristic of the northern races and
in a woman it suggests constancy
and truth. steadfastness, simplicity,
courage and purpose. IN a man it
is apt to denote phlegmatic dis
position.
Brown eyes are the eyes of the
south and east and denote as a gen
eral rule passion and lack Of orig
inality. In women they mean jeal-
ousy and cruelty very often, and in
men courage, superstition and mild
recklessness.
Blue eyes go with light hair, but
when they go With dark hair and
complexion there is coupled with
the affectionate qualities a tenden-
cy to deceive, stimulated by an am
bition for conquest and leading to
the qualification of admiration.
Hazel is a very difficult color to
determine there are so many differ
ent varieties. AS general rule
eyes of this color suggest good
deal OF strength of character and
generally a sense OF mischief and
trickery. A blue gray, with bronze
streaks radiating the centre, comes

Durable w hireMash.

There are several methods OF
making serviceable wash. One is
made as follows. Three pecks OF
water lime, one peck of salt. This
is used for old, rough fences and
outbuildings. The common white
wash is made by putting quicklime
into tight barrel, pouring on wa
ter to slake it, and adding water
sill it is of the consistency of cream.
This is used for ordinary work,
But C. much better whitewash, which
stands weather well, is made as fol-
low:
Put halfa bushel Of quicklime in
a barrel and add boiling water until
it is covered nearly six inches
deep; cover the barre! TO keep the
steam in, and when the violent ebul-
l,tion is over, add water enough tC

Mr.. Watterson calls free trade
the Kentucky idea. Good. Just
keep it in Kentucky. We want
none of it in Tennessee. We want
to encourage and protect manufac-
turers so that they may people our
country with workingmen who will
be making good wages to pay for
and consume the products of our
farms. If we had ten thousand
mechanics well paid in Pulaski,
think what effect that would have
on our farmers! We have got to
encourage and protect the men who
undertake these manufacturing en-
terprises against the product OF
pauper labor in Europe. Manu-
featuring Is an infant here and we
have to nurse it. Read this from
the North Carolina Progressive
Farmer:
A prominent citizen of Alamance
county said to us: Il can go among
the farmers of my county ar4l in
twelve hours borrow $4,000 at 6
per cent
"How do you account for this Fl
nancial strengtb?' we inquired.
at is largely owing" said he,
''to the fact that we have several
large cotton factories giving en-
ployment to thousands who must
be fed and furnish markets for ev-
erything almost that our farmers
have to sell. You would be sur
prised to visit any one Of these fac
tories and see the great varieties
of things brought there by the
farmers to sell. They sell every
thing, and hence they produce ev-
erything and get the cash for it.
Here is a lesson for the poor, for
the farmer, for the manufacturer,
for the capitalist, for the merchant,
for the political economist and the
statesman. Diversified industry is
/ the true and substantial basis of
beautiful and permanent prosperity.
When will our people, our politi
clans, our capitalists and Legislators
realize this all important truth?

Boys are fond of playing practi-
cal jokes. Such may sometimes be
done, but never to any ones incon-
venience. In one of our colleges a
professor who made himself very
friendly with the students was walk
ing out with an intelligent scholar
when they saw an old man hoeing
in > cornfield. He was advancing
slowly with his work towards the
road, by the side of which lay his
shoes. As it was near sunset, the
student proposed to play the old
man q joke.
Il will hide his shoes; we will
conceal ourselves behind the bush
es and see what he will do"
NO" said the professor, it would
not he right. You have money
enough; just pat a dollar in the Ole
mans ohoes, then we will hide be-
hind the bushes and see what h'
will do"
The student agreed to the propo
sal and they concealed themselves
accordingly.
When the laborer had finished
his row of corn he came out of thu
field to 90 home. He put on on
shoe, felt something hard, took il
off and found the dollar. He look
ed around him, but saw no one ant
looked up gratefully to heaven. H
then put on the other shoe ant
found another dollar. He look ec
at it, and looked all around him
but saw no one. He then knelt up
on the ground and returned thank
to God for tue blessings which hal
thus been conferred upon him. Tn
listeners learned from the praye
that the old mans wife and one G
his children were sick and that the e,
were very poor; so that the tw
dollars were a great relief sent t
them from heaven.
There" said the professor, "ho'
much better this is than to hav
hidden the old mans Shoes"

add two pounds of sulphate of zinc
and one pound of salt. To change
the color, add yellow ochre for
cream tints, raw lumber and lamp

permanence of whitewash thus pre-
paredis remarkable, and wre once
tried, will be used to the exclusion
of the ordinary mixture.

Many are apt to imagine that re
pentance is nothing but a concern
and sorrow for having done amis2,
and trusting that God for Christs
sake, will pardon them; and too
many place repentance in protest
ing to be sorry for their sins, and
promising not to repeat them; and
are satisfied with this, without any
serious endeavors of amendment.
Most christians, too, imagine that
repentance is in their power; that
they set about it and perform it
when they please, and do not know
that it rs the Gift of God.-Bishop
